Should You Brake or Downshift First When Turning with a Manual Transmission?

[StAnna]

When turning with a manual transmission, you should brake first and then downshift. Here is a brief introduction: 1. When you are still some distance away from the turn, start releasing the throttle and wait for the RPM and speed to decrease. 2. Then, press the clutch and shift to a lower gear (first or second gear). 3. After that, release the clutch slowly and proceed through the turn at a low speed. It is best to use first gear when turning. Here are some precautions when turning: (1) When turning, maintain an appropriate distance from the vehicle in front. If you find the speed is too fast, press the clutch and then brake. When the vehicle speed is about 20 km/h, shift to first gear. (2) When releasing the clutch, do it slowly; otherwise, the RPM will drop suddenly, causing a severe jerking sensation.
